al FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1936. SCHOOLS READY ~ BARLY IN NOV. Phil Secadden, inspector on the Nevada City grammar and_ high schools states that the floors are laid in the class rooms at Washington grammar school. The heating Plant has ‘been installed and a test several days ago gave wonderful results; the radiators in the northern part of the building giving as good heat as those near the furnace. The large windows all over the building : have been put in. They are arranged so as to turn at different angles to give proper air currents in the class rooms. About 40 per cent: of the tile has been put on dnd the rest is stacked in. piles on the roof. At the high school the sheeting and paper are on the roof of the new wing. Tile is being hoisted up on the building to be laid shortly. Both buildings will be completed within their allotted extension of time. It is expected classes will be able to move into both buildings early in November. Political control of WPA workers confirms Farley’s prediction that this was to be a dirty political campaign.

Several small fires occyrred b,ut it was not until July f9, 1956, that the people of the now busy and prosperous city learned what dreadful power lies in the combined force of wind and flame. About four o’clock on the afternoon of that memorable day a fire was accfdently started in a ‘blacksmith shop on Pine street; it rapidly spread, igniting a brewery that adjoined the shop, and then leaped across the street toa hotel and a liyery stable. From there impelled by a strung west wind, it made rapid headway, lapping up the frail buildings with its scorching tongue, and twining’ its long red arms of flame about the brick ‘structures, until, clasped in their warm embrace, they fell crumbling to the earth. Great was the excitement and consternation of the citizens; men rushed to their stores or homes hoping to save a little from the rapacious clutch of the devourer; mothers wild with terror, hastened with their little ones to places of safety, nor gave one thought to the roaring flames, save to snatch their babes from their, relentless grasp. All attempts to stay the ohward sweep of the flames, or to wrest from their consuming breath anythineg* of value, were futile. The brave and desperate who attempted it were compelled to abandon their hopeless task and seek safety in flight. In one short half hour the town lay a heap of smouldering ruins; nearly ll the dwelling houses, all the wooden business structures and all but six of the twenty eight supposed fireproof buildings were consumed. was estimated that the total loss approximated $1,500,000. The burned district extended from the top of the hill on Broad street to the creek and from Spring street, including the Baptist church (present location of -E. T. R. Powell’s home) to Caswell’s lot on Main Street, including the court house, embracing a smouldering area of 160 ares. More than the destruction of their property, more than the sudden plunge from prosperity to ruin, the city mourned the loss of the brave spirits who became victims of their own heroic efforts to battle with the destroyer. Ten were known to have perished in the flames, and it was feared that still others met the same terrible fate. A relief committee was immediately organized by the citizens to relieve the necessities and ease the sufferings of the hundreds so sudPICKLING . denty deprived of both house and clothing.
